You think Burger King gives a shit if their cashier also takes shifts at McDonalds?

It's physically impossible to flip burgers at McDonalds and Burger King at the same time. Presumably, it would be pointless for a driver to work for Uber in the morning and Lyft in the evenings.

And a driver can’t driver a Uber passenger at the same time they drive a Lyft passenger.

... no but they can be ONLINE on both apps as a driver at the same time (according to this online time would count as time spent working)

That would be fraud, if they were getting benefits from both.

Isn’t that just the on the ground reality, whether you wish to call things legit or not?

I think you missed the point.

Why would someone work 2 part-time jobs at $12/hr instead of one full-time job at $12/hr?

They certainly do if that cashier is working the same shift at McDonalds as when he's supposed to be at Burger King. His manager will also care if his work at another employer affects his performance when he's working his shift at Burger King.

They certainly don't let you work for both at the exact same moment in time (which is quite common with drivers who have both Uber and Lyft open at same moment). Also Burger King generally sets your schedule and McDonalds usually sets your schedule. It's usually not feasible to work for both, because they both might end up scheduling you in the same time slot.

You are describing a literal impossibility as your example, being physically present at the Burger King and McDonald’s at the same time.

It’s the very same thing as say a driver can’t give a passenger a ride for Uber at the same time they are giving a ride for a Lyft passenger.

> It's usually not feasible to work for both, because they both might end up scheduling you in the same time slot.

You are essentially trying to argue no one Can work 2 jobs because of potential scheduling conflicts. Plenty of people work 2-3 jobs, often times for competitors in the same industry.

Agree but what prevent a driver to log in both Lyft and Uber at the same time, to wait for a ride. Working for both at the same time?
